Overall Impression: Midway through this wine, I decided to look up the price just to get an idea of my "overall value" rating. There were several different prices, but to purchase one bottle it was $6. I was surprised. For a sweet wine, it's very delicious. It has a great sweetness to it. With the butter taste of it too, it's the perfect balance.
